Boy beaten by parents, and whole family

EVENING STANDARD (AP) -
16 April 2008
A. Ferguson

A seven-year-old boy was at the centre of a London courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to Arsenal FC whom the boy firmly believes are incapable of beating anyone.

Re: Boy beaten by parents, and whole family

Its based on this song by the Australian Kevin Wilson.

Please do not watch if you are easily offended... it is strictly NSFW

Re: Boy beaten by parents, and whole family

I thought this was true when I read it. Gob open in horror coming so soon on the heels of Shannon Matthews and her enormously disfunctional family.
I should have realised when it was in the light hearted moment dept.
